Which song are you singing?
We can sing America, but do we?
Do we use a moderate amount of goods?
Are we using too much or too less?
When people are greedy, do they acknowledge the people who can’t be greedy?
Do we have too much to the point where there is nothing left to work for?
*
People choose whether they want to sing American or not.
They choose how much goods they use and don’t use.
The greedy people do not acknowledge the people who can’t be greedy,
For then they wouldn’t be too greedy.
These people do not sing about America.
They sing about greed and wealth.
Now stop, and think.
